LED Planning Support Statement — From £650 + VAT
A planning officer–ready support statement and form field summary for your illuminated sign or LED display. Prepared by an LED manufacturer, not a generalist consultant. 48-hour turnaround. Refundable against your LED order.
Planning Applications for LED Signs Fail When They Shouldn’t
Getting planning consent for an illuminated sign should be straightforward — but most applications are missing the technical detail that planning officers actually need.
Your architect knows buildings. Your planning consultant knows policy. But neither writes LED specifications for a living.
Common reasons LED sign applications get refused or delayed:
- No luminance schedule or dimming profile
- Missing PLG05 compliance data (the ILP lighting standard planners look for)
- No explanation of content controls, animation policy, or curfew hours
- Technical specs copied from a datasheet instead of written for a planning audience
- No reference to the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007
These aren’t design problems — they’re documentation problems. And they’re fixable before you submit.
Common Use Case: Outdoor Billboards
Featured Project: Oman’s Largest Outdoor LED Billboard, Muscat Grand Mall
Outdoor billboards are by far the most common project type behind a planning support request. Whether you’re applying for a new freestanding billboard, a building-mounted display, or replacing a static print billboard with digital LED, the local planning authority will want a Planning Support Statement that addresses brightness, dwell time, environmental impact and visual amenity.
Our Planning Support Pack covers exactly that — a planner-ready document drawing on real installations like Oman’s largest outdoor LED billboard at Muscat Grand Mall, where we delivered the supply, install and commissioning of a fully weather-rated outdoor display.
If your project is an outdoor billboard, freestanding totem, building-mounted advertising display or digital out-of-home (DOOH) screen, our pack gives you a credible, technically literate document to submit alongside your planning application.
Recently Delivered: LED Ticker for a Theatre in Hackney Wick
We recently prepared a Planning Support Pack for a proposed LED ticker display on a theatre in Hackney Wick, sitting within a conservation area.
The project involved:
- A four-sided LED ticker mounted on an existing chimney structure
- Location within a conservation area with specific management guidelines
- Coordination with the architect’s wider signage scheme
- Full luminance schedule with post-sunset dimming and overnight curfew
- Compliance analysis covering PLG05, the Outsmart Code, and the local plan’s conservation policies
The planning consultant received a 300-line Planning Support Statement and a Form Field Summary — everything needed to complete the advertising consent application.
Fee: £650 + VAT, refundable against the LED display order.

Why Dynamo Writes Better Planning Statements Than a Generalist
From corporate events to major public installations, our project portfolio covers the full spectrum of LED display environments.
Exhibitions & Trade Shows
Exhibitions are won or lost on attention — and a seamless LED wall is one of the fastest ways to pull visitors onto a stand. We supply fine‑pitch indoor LED video walls designed for close viewing, high‑impact brand motion graphics and camera‑friendly presentations. Need a clean, flush finish within a modular stand system? We can advise on screen dimensions, pixel pitch, and integration so your visuals look sharp at 1–3 metres. From a single hero wall to multi‑screen builds, we deliver, install and support your stand from build to breakdown.
Corporate Events & Conferences
For conferences, awards and keynote stages, your screen has one job: look flawless for the room and the cameras. Our indoor LED screens are ideal for slide decks, IMAG (live camera), sponsor loops and branded stage backdrops — with the right pixel pitch for close audience viewing. We’ll help you plan screen size, aspect ratio and content format early, then provide delivery, installation and an on‑site technician to keep everything running on schedule. If you’re running hybrid or live-streamed sessions, we’ll also help reduce flicker and keep visuals crisp on broadcast.
Music Festivals & Live Events
Outdoor events demand reliability, brightness and fast problem‑solving — especially when weather and tight schedules are in play. We provide outdoor LED screens built for daylight visibility, plus rapid‑deploy trailer screens for simple setups and touring schedules. Whether you need stage IMAG, delayed screens, sponsor playback or fan‑zone viewing, we’ll specify the right screen size and pixel pitch for your crowd distance and viewing angles. Our crew handles delivery, build, content setup and live technical support so you can focus on the show, not the screen.
Film, TV & Virtual Production
Virtual production is all about camera performance: colour control, refresh behaviour and consistent calibration across the wall. We supply LED screens suitable for film, TV, commercials and XR/virtual production, and we’ll help you choose the right pitch and processing based on camera package, lensing, shooting distance and moiré risk. From LED back walls to side walls and LED floors, our technicians support setup, testing and shoot days — including playback workflow and on‑set troubleshooting. If you’re building a volume, we’ll work closely with production to match creative requirements and timelines.
Retail & Brand Activations
For retail windows, pop‑ups and brand activations, the goal is instant impact — without compromising the look of the space. We supply solutions from transparent LED screens for “holographic” window effects to high‑brightness screens for storefront visibility, plus custom shapes (curves, corners and cubes) that turn your display into a true centrepiece. We’ll advise on brightness, content style and installation method, then handle delivery, install and support — including out‑of‑hours work where needed. Ideal for luxury retail, product launches and attention‑grabbing experiential campaigns.

Why Choose Dynamo for Your Planning Support Statement?
We are not just a supplier; we are your technical partner. We combine real LED manufacturing knowledge with practical planning application experience — so your statement is accurate, credible, and policy-referenced.
Manufacturer-Accurate Specifications
Every luminance figure, dimming profile, and IP rating comes from our actual inventory — not a generic datasheet. Real numbers that stand up to planning scrutiny.
UK Planning Standards Knowledge
We cite PLG05, GN01, the Outsmart Code, and the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007 — the standards your LPA will reference.
Conservation Area Experience
We’ve prepared statements for sites in London conservation areas, listed building settings, and high-profile public realm schemes.
Vigorous Protection
Robust design with corner and floor protection for the edge of the modules are designed to minimise damage.
4k Video Processing
We accept input resolutions up to 4k as standard using HDMI, DVI, SDI and DP. We can also utilise 8k and even 16k
Ultra High Refresh Rates
Dynamo uses the latest IC chips, which enable refresh rate settings of up to 7680Hz, meaning no white lines, or flickers even on broadcast level cameras.
Super High Contrast Levels
We use blackface LEDs, which increases the contrast levels and gives sharp image quality with high greyscale levels.
Fast Build Design
Our range of cabinets are very quick to put together and because of their modular design, servicing is extremely fast from either the front or rear.
Lightweight Cabinets
Some of our LED cabinets weigh as little as 5kg per panel. Hanging or stacking systems can support much larger screens than conventional cabinets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Planning Support Pack.
What is a Planning Support Statement for an LED sign?
It’s a technical document that accompanies your planning or advertising consent application. It covers the LED display specification, luminance levels, dimming schedule, content policy, operating hours, and compliance with relevant lighting and advertising regulations. Planning officers use it to assess whether the proposed illuminated signage is acceptable.
Do I need one?
If you’re applying for advertising consent for any illuminated sign — LED screen, ticker, digital poster, or illuminated fascia — the local planning authority will want to see technical detail beyond what fits on the application form. A Planning Support Statement provides that detail in a format planning officers recognise.
What’s the difference between this and a lighting assessment?
A lighting assessment (sometimes called a lighting impact assessment) is typically prepared by a lighting engineer and covers lux levels, light spill, and obtrusive light from all sources on a site. Our Planning Support Statement focuses specifically on the LED display: its luminance, content behaviour, operating schedule, and compliance with advertising regulations. For most illuminated sign applications, the Planning Support Statement is what’s needed. If a full lighting assessment is also required, we can recommend a lighting engineer to work alongside us.
FAQ: LED Sign Planning Applications
Yes. We’ve prepared statements for sites within London conservation areas. The statement includes a specific section on how the proposed display preserves or enhances the character and appearance of the conservation area, referencing the relevant management guidelines.
The basics: site address, what you want to display (type of sign, approximate size), where on the building it’s going, and any architect drawings or planning consultant briefs you already have. The form below captures the essentials — we’ll follow up if we need anything else.
48-hour turnaround from confirmed brief to delivered PDFs. If your project is unusually complex (multiple displays, listed building, major public realm scheme), we’ll agree a timeline upfront.
No. Planning decisions rest with the Local Planning Authority and are based on the full application, the site context, public consultation, and policy considerations. We provide the technical and policy-referenced documentation that gives your application the best chance of approval, but no consultant or specialist can guarantee a planning outcome. Anyone who tells you otherwise is misleading you.
The full £650 + VAT is refunded against your LED display order. The planning support pack becomes free.
Yes. The statement references UK planning legislation, ILP guidance, and the Outsmart Code. These are specific to England and Wales. If you have a project in another jurisdiction, get in touch and we’ll let you know if we can help.
PLG05 is the Institute of Lighting Professionals’ Professional Lighting Guide 05, covering the brightness of illuminated advertisements. It provides the luminance limit values that planning officers and Local Authorities use to assess whether a proposed illuminated sign will cause obtrusive light. We cite and comply with PLG05 in every Planning Support Statement we prepare.
From £650 + VAT. The fee is refundable in full against your LED display order from Dynamo. One round of revisions is included within 30 days of delivery.
It maps directly to the fields on the planning application form: illumination type and method, maximum luminance values (cd/m²), static or intermittent display, dimensions, height above ground, projection, method of fixing, and materials and colours.
